Why you shouldn't try to fix it on your own

How Does It Work?

Fill out the form above. Or, you can just call us directly at 763-780-3262. Either way, we will need to talk with you to get vital information.
Once we have a chance to talk with you by phone about your project we will schedule a date for our Home Services Pro to travel to your home and consult with you before beginning any work.  And yes, we take credit cards over the phone and on-site. 

To schedule your initial visit we ask for $250 to cover our trip charge and the first 2-hours of our visit. This will secure your place on our schedule.

Once on-site, our seasoned pros will assess the work needed to be done with you, detail it on a work order for your approval, and begin work if they have the materials needed. If not, they will go get those materials. We add a standard 25% handling fee for materials we purchase for your job. Our labor rate is $125 per hour, which includes any material trips.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ'SIf we haven't covered it here, you can always call us.

To schedule time with a pro, you will need to talk by phone with our service coordinator, pick a date and time, and then pay $250 with a credit card, to hold your spot on the schedule, cover the trip to your home and the first 2 hours of time which includes a consult on the scope of the project, inspection of existing conditions, any measurements needed, material list preparation, and finally a well-informed and professional estimation of the budget needed.

Our expert knowledge and skilled hourly labor rate is $125. We use a standard 25% markup on all materials.

We are often asked why we don't give "free estimates".  Our answer is simple.  Because there is no such thing as a free estimate.  Or, if you like, it is worth exactly what you paid for it. 

No one can honestly tell you what a repair will cost without properly investigating current conditions on-stie and what's needed, within code, to  complete the work properly. You will pay for that knowledge and expertise one way or the other, either up front or hidden somewhere inside the cost of labor during the project.  Furthermore, companies that perform vital functions for free don't stay in business long—and neither does their warranty.

The only way you can avoid paying for an educated, useful estimate is if you never actually hire anyone to do the work.  Of course you will never recover the cost of your time in chasing down all those potential fix-it tradesmen. Have you ever considered what your time is actually worth?

If you are trying to save a nickle by comparing companies using (the three bid myth) then we are not going to be a good match for you. However, if you are more concerned about getting the job done to the highest industry standards, right now, by a 41-year-old ethics-driven company, well then that would be us.  What exactly are you waiting for?

Life happens.  We get it. So, should you need to reschedule, simply call us as soon as you can at 763-780-3262, or call the pro you have scheduled to have come to your home. 

To comply with state law, we adhere to the Building Association of Minnesota (BAM) Performance Guidelines as well as for warranty. We consider those minimum guidelines and exceed them in most cases. 

If you change your mind or hire someone else please do so 24-hours prior to your scheduled date and time by calling us at 763-780-3262, or call the pro you have scheduled in order to receive a refund.
